Venatrix.

This forum is potentially one of the most important on this entire board. Too easily we lose sight of this game's origins. We're doing ourselves and our enjoyment a great disservice by not discussing or delving into our past, present, and...

I like the idea that blues might try to emulate redpill behavior. Like the Sentinel, I don't think they would know the true nature of the culture they aspired to be part of, but would attempt to "bend reality" in their own way or perhaps s...

Clearly this is a case where Sniper is being used along with other Gunman trees. It's already been pointed out that Sniper isn't effective in a duel when used alone. The person you were dueling most likely had abilities from the Duelist, S...

Since tagging nodes has already been mentioned, I'll elaborate a little on efficient missioning. Get yourself a team that has at least one level 50 in it, this will yield a greater XP reward at the mission's completion. Also, Tiny/Hard mis...

Shh, Fenny, there's no use trying to reason with people from Beta.

Awesome work! Nothing better than a great patch that sneaks up on ya.

I will say one thing for the furball, she has great hair.

"You have received 1 CQ point for a total of 1."

Along the same lines, if I'm running a mission and I'm up against a Blood Noble (or any Exile), his or her special move (biting the neck) appears to have no reuse time. I've had it literally spammed against me in IL. That doesn't seem righ...

I'm going to make a small suggestion to anyone planning on using brushes in their work: Don't overdo it. Honestly, the biggest mistake people make is to let the brushes take over the image. They're great to add subtle effects here and ther...

Agreed. It's fine to wear a launcher if you're a hacker, but when you're any other class... it's a little out of place. Level 50 enhanced sunglasses would be a lovely replacement.

Is there a particular reason why the female version of the Whitfield's MK II Code Launcher doesn't have the 30pts of Ballistic Damage Resistance that the male version does? :smileyindifferent:

They're expensive because they weren't designed to be implemented long-term. They cannot be decompiled, either. Rather, they are were a temporary solution to the negative status effects from Hackers.

To be fair, you have to consider that Martial Arts Prowess is just a step-up from Intensify Damage, which also lasts for a very short time. I don't think the Devs intended MAP to be a such a determining factor in the outcome of combat, and...

A note about the blur tool, if you set it to a soft round brush (size 5) with the strength set to 20%, you can smooth out skin and textures that are too harsh. But when smoothing skin, be very careful how you do it. Don't just rub the tool...

Would you like it with the crusts cut off?

I'm sorry... I have no idea what you are talking about...

Thank goodness I'm not the only one with this problem. I lost someone's shirt that was entrusted to me to decompile and code new copies of, and it failed. My decompile skill is also levelled to 50 and I was wearing clothing to enhance it....

Sounds intriguing.

I actually understood this.

Obviously you don't think they should stop, because you contributed! And I don't know you, but I like your sig.

Thank goodness for the redarkening of black clothing.

I would like to know this as well. For example, the Kung Fu style offers points of Thrown Defense, so where do the Accuracy and Damage values come from? We might want to have a new thread to discuss the new terminology all at once. EDIT: N...

I'd like to reiterate what Void said about the penalty of switching between melee and ranged styles in combat. This is, at the moment, my biggest concern regarding this update and I only hope that it can be cleared up in QA. Mixing loadout...

It would be even better if I could pick up one of those Holiday Helper outfits.

Venatrix is Latin for "the huntress."
